Oh my God, oh my God… Just how stupid was Isabelle? She chose a coal over a diamond? Was she blind?
I turned to find Cassian a few steps behind me.
He looked like he had just stepped out of a war zone. His hair was slightly dishevelled, his black suit jacket was unbuttoned, revealing the ink beneath, and his eyes... they weren't the icy blue I remembered.
They were dark, churning with a silent, murderous fury.
Randy stood a few paces behind him, looking pale and keeping his distance, like a man forced to be in proximity with a ticking bomb.
Cassian didn't look at Joel, who had hurried out from the study. He didn't look at Roxanne.
His gaze locked onto me, then flicked to Ryan, who was standing just a bit too close to me.
That was when I noticed Ryan was standing beside me.
"Impossible… I… I don't remember saying that. You must have heard wrong," I said, only for Roxanne to frantically shake her head.
